[@Boogie_the_cat]

Totally. Samsung loves to make their features look good on paper, but (for instance) their 5mp macro or 5mp ultra-wide lenses simply look garbage IRL. Their 5mp ultra-wide lenses are literally extras from Samsungs European motor division back-up safety cameras. The photos (and more so videos) they take are garbage. They don't care much about user experience, as long as it looks good on paper. I was a huge Sammy fan for years back, but their devices (and more so, software) have gotten to be all flash and not much substance.

[@sietedesigns]

Most reviewers are guilty of this. It's sad, lol. They go by numbers only. And one thing is automatically better than the other, and then completely ignoring price points and such, after that.

This is the best 6a review I have seen yet.. and the main reason for that is that you view the phone from the perspective of someone who would actually buy the phone. A lot of other reviewers are looking at it as a tech geek.. It's really refreshing to see someone who understands the consumer who is looking at this phone.

[@cristobalbalenciaga7295]

*the reason why is because you are positive.

[@SpencerHikes]

Been using a 6A for about 10 days and am really enjoying it. I think you made some great points in this video that reflect my own experience. I'm coming from the Pixel 4a so this definitely feels like an upgrade while still providing a familiar experience. Side note: I was pretty shocked by Google's preorder trade-in offer where I picked up this phone, plus the Pixel Buds A, for $150 after trading in my 4a 🤯 Definitely a no-brainer!

[@CptNogg]

agreed, the trade in is what hooked me, they gave 300 for my 4a and gave the pixel ear buds for free, so in the long run the phone cost me 180..still disappointed but mostly with bugs ive experienced and the screen finger print reader, it is much less accurate. then the back side reader

[@KiLLJOY1056]

The only real reason I bought this phone was for the size I've been carrying around a 6.8 inch phone for the longest time now and when I went to Best buy to feel it in hand it was so refreshing and I really wanted the iPhone 12 mini because it was around the same price currently but the battery life on that one just seems not nearly as good as it will be on the pixel 6A. I was very close to getting the pro or even the regular six but the 6A size is just perfect. If your dad is okay with big phones you should get them the LG v60 it has the best headphone jack around and a great battery life and great screen brightness and all that stuff that's the phone I have now and I'm going to keep it too because I love it so much it's just pretty big so I'm going to use it secondary to my pixel 6A.

[@ninetendopesaitama2107]

Perfect size for me. My previous smartphone was 5.5 " but the 6a is more compact. The performance is smooth and quick.

[@BN99239]

I recently purchased this phone for my mom, who uses maybe 10% of the smart features on smartphones. I have an S22 Ultra and while setting up this phone and using it for a bit, it's honestly such a good phone and it's $370 right now new. Sure, it doesn't do anything better than the S22 Ultra, but it's almost 4x less expensive and the processing power is honestly astounding. The display quality is probably the biggest drawback but it's still really decent.

[@shikhar2811]

2:47 what you said came out to be true in MKBHD's blind camera test.

[@kingken0460]

IV had this phone for a week now and it's been flawless. I'm running the Android 13 beta and those improvements along with animations that are iphone level smooth. I'm coming from the iphone 12 mini and the flip 3 so i prefer compact devices and the 6a has the better battery by a long shot out of the 3. Charging is definitely slow but I can make it the whole day without a charge and i can't say that for the flip 3 and mini. 60hz has been no issue because the OS has been so smooth. I'm just not sure if the smoothness is from Android 13 thing or pixel UI. Could be both but I recommend this phone

[@kingken0460]

Also I had no issues with the finger print scanner. Again I'm not sure if this is just based on units or if Android 13 fixed it

[@kyrzixxi]

i also have a 12 mini and i was thinking of switching to it just for the android ecosystem and battery, do you think its worth it?

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yup, smooth interface, no problems here with the fingerprint scanner, and I prefer better battery life to 90hz refresh rate. I think people nowadays have the tendency to get all hoity-toity about their phone specs, and look down on any phone with lower specs than their flagships, and they totally ignore the fact that not everyone can afford a flagship phone. Also most people coming from a midrange phone to the 6a probably only experienced 60hz with their old phone (unless they are coming from a really recent midrange, or from a flagship) so the 60hz will not be a "downgrade". And again, the OS on the 6a is slick as owl poop. I don't care if my phone can't record 8k video. What would I watch it on? And the filesize? 128gb for 12 minutes on my mom's Galaxy 21FE. 12 whole minutes, huh? Sounds......useful..... Right?

[@miniDrew4]

I got this phone for my wife, and it's perfect for a casual phone user. None of the extra features that casual users don't touch. Just stock Android that runs smoothly. Plus they came with the pixel buds A series, and those were a huge upgrade. Away with the wires.

[@ccroy2001]

I traded my 4a in and got a really good deal + Pixel a Buds which sound better than my inexpensive, but still good Soundpeats. The 6a is my 2nd phone with an under display fingerprint reader. The other was a Samsung S10. I really didn't like it on the S10, but on the 6a it's fine, but I prefer a dedicated sensor on the back or in the power button like my TCL phone has. Overall I really like the 6a so far.

[@V7RNR]

I came to this phone from a Oneplus 7 Pro, I do notice the difference going from 90hz to 60hz, but I don't care, I changed jobs to one where I risk damaging my phone, so the chance to buy the 6A for £199 sim free was my motivation, I bought it as a beater, knowing it would beat all others at £200 by some way, and I get the buds A series included. I still have the OP7Pro as my second phone for media and gaming when I travel.

The difference between 60 and 90 is negligible!

I am reasonably tech savvy for these things and the way they sometimes use the same approach for different brands. But this one is really starting to frustrate me. I am starting to dislike this phone

[@Altoseb]

iPhone user since 2012. Bought a 6a to tide me over until the iPhone 15 is released because my iPhone SE smashed after I dropped it with no case. At £299 it's an absolute bargain. There are a few minor bugs that annoy me, like the OS forgetting some my notification privacy settings, but then I remember the iOS 16 bugs weren't much fun either. I find it very hard to justify £849 now for a phone when the 6a in my view covers the bases for 99% of the population.

It's interesting how different the views are depending on where you're coming from. I've had a Huawei P30 before the Pixel 6a and even if the screen size is the same, the 6a seems humongous to me, the P30 (albeit having a smaller battery), was so nice and slim in comparison.

[@sammygreco]

I Traded in my Pixel 4a for the 6a after 2 years of use of the 4a. The 4a when I bought it was $350 brand new. Google gave me $300 for my 2 year old Pixel 4a towards the Pixel 6a. If you upgrade phones about every 2 years like everyone used to with their phone contracts, the Pixel line will give you SO MUCH VALUE for your used phone towards a new one. It's almost impossible not to do it. So basically I got the Pixel 6a for an aging budget phone + $150 dollars.

[@ramondelgado6778]

This phone really is an amazing deal. Especially after the Google trade in promo offering $300 for an old iPhone 7, and the Pixel buds, DONE! The ONLY issues that I have are 1. I really miss wireless charging, and 2. an option to upgrade to a larger internal storage size would have been fantastic! Having said that, this phone, after the upgrade to 13, really is almost perfect. Great video, by the way. You earned a sub!

I've had mine for 2 weeks too. I was coming from LG V30 and this is my first Pixel.

I love this phone for its size, price, and features! Love the call screening and how it answers incoming calls for me and puts them on speaker (when I say "answer"). The android feels so clean and smooth. I wish there was a charger in the box. Phone also somehow gets warm when charging and using it at d same time. Overall great user experience so far.

I bought a 6a based on this video...I have no interest in phone cameras I am only interested in cpu power. Initially I would have rated it 5/ 10... I was really struggling to adapt, but once I had watched a video of all the 6a features, it went to a 9/10 and as soon as I got the 3 nav icons back it went to a 10/ 10... live translation and the captions ability really make this phone desirable. A lot of videos focus (sic) on the 6a camera, but it is so much more than that... :)

Too hot for the Phoenix, AZ area. Google sent me another phone, which has proved to be much better. I really struggled to get my Outlook Contacts on the 6A. I use hotmail, and the integration for mail was easy. I'm not sure why there was a problem with getting the Contacts on the phone. I ended up with my email via Outlook and Personal (IMAP) when I view the Passwords and Accounts under Settings. Very happy now, and I did get the full $300 trade-in!

[@uweschroeder]

I like Pixel phones - particularly the ones that are not carrier locked and thus free of junkware and you can root them pretty easily. I'm always several generations behind on phones - right now on a Pixel 3 which actually does pretty much what I need it to do. I might upgrade to a 5 for the camera, so a 6 is a far way off. The only thing that would be a dealbreaker for me is the wireless charging - that's a convenience I just won't miss anymore. Well, my refurbished Pixel 3 still works fine and probably will for the next year or two and then I can think about a 5 when that comes down to under $100 - which is my spending limit for a phone.

as someone coming from a Pixel 3aXL with a rear fingerprint sensor, the in-screen fingerprint sensor in the 6a is not slow at all. It's every bit as fast as the rear sensor on the 3A was, maybe even faster. You DO have to get your finger/thumb in the right place on the screen, though; in that respect it's not as slick an experience to use as a rear sensor that is detented where you can feel the edges of it.

Whne you've been a gamer for a lot fo years, you know there's more to a device, or app, or game than its specs alone, optimization is just as, if not more important than the product itself. I traded in my absolutely wonderful Samsung A71 5G(no complaints at all!). That phone did everything I wanted it to do, but was a tiny bit too big for my EDC carry pack, and didn't have great water resistance, other than that...perfect! Using a case and screen protector, like 90% of people do, gets rid of most of the 6a's issues right away. I am blown away, at the ease of use just the tiny difference in size makes! I do have one complaint, that isn't an issue, it GETS HOT!!! Not just playing games, but with regular use, solved by the cover, but it's still getting hot, I'm just not having to deal with it, that's still a concern. Fingerprint reading is many times better than my Samsung, the samera is far inferior, yet SOMEHOW...with Google magic, I don't know, gets just as awesome pictures!

Agree mike..been using pixel 6a for last 2 mos and has flagship level performance with great cameras!! Super snappy without any stuttering or lags!! Pics come out great regardless of light conditions. Speakers are super loud especially if you use an equalizer app from play store. I like plastic back as it makes phone lighter and won't shatter. I guess a disadvantage is if you're looking for a big screen .... only 6.1 inch and it's not as bright as a Samsung or a Motorola phone.... one major beef I have with this phone is its sucky fingerprint sensor!! It opens phone at 1st attempt only half the time. Another major disadvantage is the very slow charging time.

Was looking at the specs... The 60Hz display was a bit a bummer... But im coming from 60Hz like you said... And I just ordered the 6A for 344 USD... Doubt that some other Brand can beat Bang per Buck on this device... Really excited to try a Pixel.. was 8 years on Xiaomi now.

[@ElectricC0mpany]

Price alert for Pixel 6a: Until Sep. 24 (2022) there is enhanced trade in value. Pixels 3a or newer for $300 and up or other phones like Galaxy A71 at $300 or iPhone XR 128GB at $290. Way more than you could resell these phones for. That's only $150ish cash for a new 6a. I'm trying to decide if I should trade in my XR or 4XL.

[@RaizenTheLightning]

I'm thinking about getting this phone as a birthday gift for my fiance. Her old phone is a google pixel 2xl and she want a newer phone.

[@m0ulisa_]

Which do you recommend between Pixel 6a and Samsung S21 FE

[@theorgazoid4918]

I returned my 6a due to the screen having a lot of yellow tint. Looked like an LCD display.

[@marksouthwell4490]

That's one of the things that let pixels down, their screens. I have a pixel 6 and the screen isn't great 🥴

[@LordiJaForge]

Had this phone 2 days now. Day 1 GPS stopped working. Maps simply would not track my location. Turned off precise location and it seemed to fix it but we'll see. Twice now Google apps have frozen when attempting to open (remember I've only had this 2 days) not at all impressed so far. I'll give it a couple more days before I return it as defective

Just the video I was looking for. I need something for real estate video at a reasonable price that has 60 fps and ultra-wide lens. I'd love an iPhone but out of my range I'm afraid. How far behind the iPhone is this especially for dimly lit interiors? My wife's iPhone 12 shoot lovely video. Thanks for this.

[@kanwarkajla]

is it good idea to shift from iphone 12 to pixel 6A for a change ?

[@stuartback2594]

Just ordered my Pixel 6A. Arrives tomorrow. Looking forward to the pure android experience coming from crappy MIUI!

[@fiat1312]

Month and a half with this phone. Big problem. One day started acting like it was on airplane mode and stopped receiving calls. After restart things went back to normal, but I missed important calls. Now is sitting in a drawer and would recommend.

[@yellowflash511]

Agree with everything except the display. Plenty good phones under 450 have high refresh displays like the Motorolas, they even offer "pixel like experience" so many people go for them instead of a Pixel. 60hz isn't a big deal to be as I'm not a power user of phones but instead of PCs so I would be fine with it but most people want at least 90hz especially 450 is a lot for just 60hz

[@jonathanferrell3551]

I got my 6a for $150 because Google offered a $300 trade in credit for my 3a plus a free pair of earbuds. That's what I originally paid for it. It appears that that you can still get $300 trade in credit when you buy the 6a directly from Google. That makes the 6a the best bang for your buck on the market.

[@raymondharris3646]

Just got it where can you find headphones for pixal6a

[@tiranasawrus5148]

Would the iphone 11 be a viable alternative for a sub 500 phone?

[@senior_ranger]

Best of both worlds to get an engineer background and real world perspective. Thanks. My 6A is adequate, and I'll get used to it over time. Was surprised to see I'm getting a 5G signal using Visible. The two main reasons I prefer my 4A are size and fingerprint sensor. The 6A is just enough bigger than the 4A to be annoying; the 4A was my perfect size. The 6A fingerprint, compared to the 4A feels amateurish and bumbling. It's also effective only about 50% of the time. Battery life on the 6A is probably 20 to 25 percent less than my 4A. I got the 6A because of the trade-in deal and to extend my support a few years. Overall, I'd rather have my 4A. Thanks again for a useful vid.

[@screaminjesus]

I love the rear fingerprint sensor on my 5a, it's baffling to me that they decided to get rid of that in favor of a crappy under display sensor

[@jbudwal]

I am using the pixel 6a, and I love the phone. Awesome review.

[@mrfive427]

I’m on a budget…. Is it a good idea to upgrade from iPhone XR to pixel 6a

[@joseboza2158]

No SD card needed? How about the tap feature with a case?

[@crazyfun5150]

I traded in my old 5a and ordered the 6a on the Black Friday sale. Wound up getting it for free since I got $299 trade in for the 5a. I gave my first 6a to my brother and it is an excellent phone for the price. At $449 it's a good deal but at $299 with a trade it's a steal. The Pixel 6a is a true flagship killer. It isn't perfect but it gets the basics right and has a ton of features.

[@jasonrogers8324]

How's battery life compared to the 5a? I hurried up and got the 5a when the 6a came out due to worries of the battery life hurting with the different setup.

[@renyraiche-gregoire4921]

One things nobody talk in review. It's a good phone with a big lack for dual sim phone. If you have a personnal and bussiness lines, go with an other brand, Google didn't have dual ringtone option. For me it's the reason why I will keep Samsung or Xiaomi.

[@frisky_cat6817]

Smaller phone but still feels big in my hand hehehe I miss the 4a size, just nice

[@italianjob4947]

What an excellent review. I don't trust other reviewers that wear a cap indoors, It's a bugbear of mine. 😁

[@daveh9335]

I have the 3a and at the time of purchase I had decided to wait for the 6a as a replacement, I'm gonna hold out for a price drop and then pull the trigger.

[@darylhurst1145]

Why didn't you trade it in?

[@Ilovenewphones]

If I can get the pixel 6 for $400 in your opinion would you recommend that over the 6a? Thanks

[@SJF15]

Why wouldn't you?

[@henryivan6858]

Wait for pixel 7, releasing this fall, if you're not getting the pixel 6A.

[@barvass]

What is more worth buying, pixel 6a or galaxy a53/52s?

[@effafanai17]

love my pixel 6a, love the camera.

[@avelinobadana1053]

Hello from Portugal, this is one of my favourite phones this year, but i also have a good feedback from the Samsung s21 FE...which one would you think os the best value for money? Here the pixel os 450 euros and the Samsung about 510 euros...keep the good work! Cheers

[@hectorbarrera7953]

The pixel takes the better picture but if you don't mind that the fe's are not bad and offers a better and larger screen with last years flagship specs with 120hz giving you better performance. For 60 euros more I would go for the FE
